jQuery 1.1.1

The bug fix release for 1.1 is now ready for all to use. There were a lot of weird behaviors that were discovered post-1.1 that needed to be remedied sooner, rather than later. If you were having any difficulties with the 1.1 release, please try this new release to see if your problems were solved.

Today, I switched one of my projects from xajax, Prototype and script.aculo.us to jQuery and Interface and the gain of speed is just incredible!

I am not completely done yet but so far the page load is 35% faster and the sourcecode is smaller by 15%. There are some things that aren’t working perfect right now but with the help of the new documentation I am quite confident that I will sort those problems out. :-)

John you and the jQuery team deserve a mountain of praise and thankyous for this superb library. I started using jQuery around July of last year and it has been a Godsend. Although I’m a hard-core programmer, I still like to have fun when I’m doing it as much as possible and jQuery helps me do just that where my web development feats are concerned. Also the fact that jQuery is lean and mean, as opposed to unnecessarily bloated like many other JavaScript libraries out there is a huge bonus :).

So let me leave by saying, thank you, thank you, thank you guys. Keep up the phenomenal work you’re doing, the community appreciates it tremendously.

Hi. Sorry, I guess this isn’t really the right place for this, but just in case:

I’ve started to write a “find as you type” plugin / bookmarklet for Internet Explorer. The code below almost works but needs sorting out a bit. Unfortunately I don’t really have the time to do this, but the code could be use to someone.

What it does is adds a search bar with an input field at the bottom of the page. It then tries to doa find as you type search – like Firefox does.

If someone gets this working then it could be made into a bookamrklet.
